by Andy KellmanNative Berliner Sascha Funkes warm take on tech-house is rather clean and very melodic, quite possibly catering to the Kompakt labels love for the term pop more than any of the other producers on the Cologne, Germany, labels roster. Throughout 2000 and early 2001, the perfectly named Funke issued a trio of 12 singles on the label — Campus, Safety First, and Drei Auf Drei. During the same period, Funke also released a pair of singles for Berlins Bpitch Control imprint — Luftschloß and 2:1 Fur Die Liebe. Some of his productions for Kompakt have appeared on the Schaffelfieber, Total 2, and Total 3 compilations.
